Task-oriented off-line parametric programming of an industrial robot serving CNC lathes
Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2019, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
Industrial robotic arms are often employed in machine tool tending. If the scope of programming is restricted to a specific machine tool type, the tasks involved become standard to a large extent. Therefore, the corresponding movements can be parametrically described and linked to the shape of the particular machine tool tended. Thus, a ‘master’ robot trajectory and corresponding robot program in the supported language can be parametrically defined off-line by making use of a simplified 3D model of the machine tool and an accurate 3D model of the robot. Subsequently, this can be easily tailored to the particular machine tool of the given type by simply updating the respective parameter values. This process has been implemented and demonstrated for a six axis industrial robot tending computer numerically controlled lathes.
